Monty's Gastric Bypass surgery went very smooth today. He was in the OR for roughly 4 hours. It took him 2 hours to recover then another 1 hr to get into his own (private) room. Yea, he's in a little pain but it's under control b/c he has control of his Morphene drip :-D

He should be in the hospital until Thursday or Friday, granted no complications should arise. Tonite around 7:30pm, he took his first steps post-operation and did well. He got out of his bed, stood up & sat in a chair. For such a major surgery, this is a great step towards recovery despite how miniscule that sounds. He cannot wait to take his first sips of water tomorrow after he takes a test to make sure his new stomach doesn't have any leaks. If that test shows he's alright, then it's water & sugar-free ice-pops for a few days.

I'll be working only 4-hours a day & then spending the rest of my day at the hospital with Monty.


If you want to pass along a message to Monty, just message me and I'll print it out & bring it to him when I go see him!

Monty actually asked me to smuggle Luda (our kitty) into the hospital tomorrow... I think it would be a lil too hard to hide a 21lb cat under my shirt... :saint:

Yea, Monty explained how it is on the board & I think that's awesome.

He called me at 6am this morning & sounded great. He'll be having a "leak test" this morning to make sure his new stomach doesn't leak... if all is well, he's gonna get to have some water & sugar-free ice pops!

Now I just gotta figure out how to smuggle a 21lb cat into a hospital.... :ninja:

Good Stuff! Thanks so much for taking the time to keep us in the loop, we're all pulling for him.



Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

awesome. glad to hear everything went smoothly. while i'm sure it's very serious, the idea of a 'leak test' is kinda hilarious.

thanks for taking the time to deliver the update, lori, we really do appreciate it.

Just tell the hospital staff if you get caught the cat would help his recovery along and then punch the first person to challenge you.

His BFB hoodie is sooooo waaaaarm!


Monty may be coming home tomorrow afternoon. He's up & walking down the hallways in his oh-so-revealing hospital gown. I'm pretty sure he's been flashing the old ladies on the floor, too.

He got to eat Jell-O, chicken broth & Carnation Instant Breakfast this afternoon/evening! And he kept it all down with NO vomiting (which is common for gastric bypass patients to do at first).

He no longer has unlimited access to his best friend, the Morphene button. But if he's in pain, he gets liquid pain-killers instead of thru the IV.

Everything has gone perfect according to his surgeon, so he'll be home soon!
